DTE Detox & Recovery Guide: Breaking Free from 7-OH Dependency

Hey there,

If you landed here, chances are you’re struggling with something many others are quietly battling too: dependency on 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) shots like Roxy, 7OHMZ, and others flooding stores across the U.S. These ultra-concentrated products might look like kratom, but they hit your system more like a pharmaceutical opioid — and they’ve created a wave of addiction that’s leaving a lot of people stuck, sick, and desperate for a way out.

We’re Down to Earth Botanicals, and we’re here to help.

We created this guide for one reason: to give you a realistic path to escape the grip of 7-OH — whether you want to transition to traditional kratom, taper down using a mitragynine-based extract, or get off everything entirely.


Why 7-OH Is So Different (and So Addictive)

7-OH isn’t just “strong kratom.” It’s a lab-converted alkaloid that binds to your opioid receptors far harder than anything in natural kratom. Studies show it can be 5 to 20 times stronger than mitragynine (kratom’s main active compound). That’s why the withdrawals from 7-OH feel so much worse.

People report:

  • Tremors and restless legs

  • Nausea, vomiting, and GI issues

  • Intense cravings and mood crashes

  • Insomnia and extreme anxiety

In short, it hijacks your brain the same way synthetic opioids do.


Our Philosophy: Harm Reduction Over Cold Turkey

Our goal isn’t to shame, scare, or push a “just quit” mentality. We’ve helped people across the country transition from 7-OH dependency to:

  • Controlled use of traditional kratom leaf (1.4–2.2% mitragynine)

  • Tapering with our Solar Flare liquid shots (72% mit, 95% total alkaloids)

  • Complete detox from all alkaloids — if that’s your goal


How Our Taper Plan Works

We’ve designed a simple, flexible program based on what we’ve seen work:

1. Stabilize – First, we help you switch off 7-OH without sending your body into shock. This might involve:

  • Replacing 7-OH with a combination of supplements, extract products and taper tools.

  • Calculating mitragynine rough equivalency based on your 7-OH use

  • Holding that dose for a few days to get your bearings

2. Transition – After you’re stable, we slowly reduce your mitragynine intake using:

  • Smaller Solar Flare doses or diluted shots

  • Gradually introducing traditional kratom powder or tapering off mit completely

  • Adjusting based on how your body reacts

3. Taper – Once you’re on powder only, we help you step down your total grams per day using:

  • A schedule (we offer templates)

  • Rotating strains 

  • Optional support tools (like the supplements in our kits)

4. Quit or Maintain – Some people stop kratom entirely. Others stabilize at a manageable 3–5g/day. Either way, you’re out of the 7-OH trap — and that’s the win.


Tools to Help You

We’re actively building out:

  • A calculator to help convert extract to powder dosages

  • Custom taper planners

  • Withdrawal symptom checklists

  • Product bundles (“Recovery Pack,” “Post-7 Reset”) to support you at each phase

Everything we make is designed with one goal: giving you options.


Support You Can Count On

We’re not just a kratom brand — we’re people who care about the plant, the culture, and the customers. If you need help, reach out. We’ve also got a Discord community where people share their stories and support each other through the process.

You don’t have to do this alone.

A good rule of thumb is to slow taper if able to do so. A slow taper might look something like dropping 1mg per dose per day. If you hit a stall point or get too uncomfortable, hold for 2-3 days and resume tapering. The goal of a slow taper is to not put your body into shock with too much abrupt change. By doing this, you can effectively reduce your intake without suffering!

Simple plan to step down your 7-OH. The table shows equivalences (comparison only) in kratom extract and leaf. Not dosing instructions.

Important: This tool shows equivalence only — not how much you should take. Use the lowest effective amount and taper down. We do not recommend more than 2–3 g of powder-equivalent in any single serving.

7-OH to Kratom Conversion Table

7-OH (mg)
7-OH (mg)
Your 7-hydroxy daily intake in milligrams. This is the starting point for all conversions.
Mitragynine (mg)
Mitragynine
The amount of mitragynine (main alkaloid in kratom) that equals the same strength as your 7-OH use.
Extract Powder (mg)
Extract Powder (mg)
How many milligrams of your high-potency extract (78.5% MIT) would equal that amount.
Extract Powder (g)
Extract Powder (g)
Same number as above but expressed in grams. Easier if weighing larger amounts.
Kratom Leaf Powder (g)
Kratom Leaf Powder
The amount of plain kratom leaf powder (at 1.5% MIT) that would equal the same alkaloid strength.
